shanvan Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'd like Dd to study Biology next year since that will be older brother's science next year. What are my options? Feel free to comment on your experiences with curriculum too. So far I have listed as options... Noeo - but looks a little too simple Classicquest - somehow doesn't appeal -- not sure why Real Science for Kids - looks a little simplistic Christian Kids Explore Biology Elemental Science Anyone know of any others I missed?

shanvan Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 No one has any further suggestions? I did some more searching and found: Science Shepherd Life Science Easy Classical: Animals, Human Body & Plants If I've missed anything I could possibly consider please post. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm happily using ClassiQuest with a couple of 5th graders. It is simple to use, the labs work, and the kids are getting good at researching and writing lab reports. They don't think it is the most exciting thing in the world if you ask them about it, but they both get excited about the things they've learned.

2_girls_mommy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I am planning a mixture of Memoria Press's 5th and 6th grade science sets, adding in a microscope unit, and dissections when we get to the biology book (from the 6th grade set.) I will have to do my own planning for the History of Medicine, the micoscope unit using a book I already own, and the Biology book, but I am excited about it. The bird unit looks like it will be easy enough, but go more in depth than we have before on any animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thank you! Memoria Press' materials look very interesting! There's one I hadn't thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ck12 Flexbooks have 4 books out for middle school. Some have teacher guides and lab manuals. You can customize them by excluding chapters or clipping in chapters from other books prior to printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I see you mentioned it in your 2nd post but we bought Shepherd Science Life Science for my daughter who will be in 5th grade next year. We have not used it yet but I have it on my science shelf so I can try to answer any questions you may have about it! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondreeuh Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 REAL Science Odyssey Bio Level 2 is coming out soon Sonlight Science D is life bio, taxonomy, human anatomy, and Science E is Health, Medicine, and Human Anatomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Oh yes, I looked at that Sonlight Science E. That set looks really good. It uses the same History of Medicine that Memoria does. It also includes health and uses the American Girl body book (or whatever that one is called.) I am probably purchasing that book for my dd just for her to read through anyway.

Woodland Mist Academy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 We are using CPO Life Science this year. It's been great for my dd10, 5th grade. It's a textbook, but she finds it interesting and enjoys it. She has also thrived on the science literature recommended in CPO. Each chapter has book recommendations for various reading levels. There are lots of options for approaches with CPO. We're looking forward to continuing with CPO Earth next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourcatmom Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 REAL Science Odyssey Bio Level 2 is coming out soonSonlight Science D is life bio, taxonomy, human anatomy, and Science E is Health, Medicine, and Human Anatomy. Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a quick question. I wanted to study health and anatomy with my soon to be 5th and 6th grader. I wasn't sure what program to use but this Sonlight seems to fit what I want. Can you just buy the Teacher's Plan by itself and order the books through RR or Amazon or do you have to buy the package? Also, has anyone used this - I think it was Sonlight F that had Health, Medicine and Anatomy. Thanks:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
